    Hi

    We are late to dip this year and also thinking of putting the ram in a couple weeks early. I wonder if it would be bad to send the ram in this weekend and dip next week? Would this disrupt the cycles or harm the sheep at all mid-breeding?

    yes, for the first few weeks of pregnancy the embryo inst implanted in the womb wall so any physical stress like dipping could cause them to lose lambs

    Is there any alternative injectable solutions for what appears to be scab? That's safe for use in ewes for tipping? No access to a dip trough here.
